Tax Planning & Preparation
Tax planning is a year round process individuals, businesses, and organizations use to evaluate their financial profile, with the aim of minimizing the amount of taxes paid on personal income or business profit.
Tax preparation comes after the end of the year, and then it’s too late to implement any changes that could allow you to pay the least amount in taxes legally possible. When planning taxation for our clients, we review your entire situation. Through our conversations we detail your expenses to find every possible legal deduction.

The primary objective of our tax services group is to minimize a client’s overall tax burden whenever and wherever possible. In order to achieve this, our tax services are directed primarily toward constructive tax planning beginning early in the year and maintaining close contact with our clients throughout the year.
The tax services we offer include not only the preparation and review of income tax returns, but also advance planning to minimize future taxes, advice on tax effects of proposed transactions, corporate reorganizations, assistance in such tax-oriented areas as executive compensation, and other similar continuing services.
We prefer to take a proactive approach rather than a reactive approach to tax services. By keeping current on new tax laws and legislation, we are in a position to identify key tax planning opportunities that minimize both your current and future tax liabilities. We provide our individual and business clients with the taxation expertise and knowledge that they deserve throughout the year. Tax services offered include but are not limited to:
- Tax planning & return preparation
- Individuals
- Corporations
- Partnerships * LLCs * LLPs
- Estates, trusts & gift
- Taxing authority representation
- Divorce and support issues
- Tax effects of buying/selling a business
